Joe Landy: Ships are safest in the harbor, but that’s not what ships are for.

My name is Joe Landy. I have worn many hats in my life, from zamboni driver to specialist clerk on the New York Stock Exchange. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “Every man I meet is my superior in some way. In that, I learn of him.” (forgive the masculine reference, blame Emerson) I have come to believe that the hardest part about learning how to do something is admitting that you don’t know how to do it in the first place. Truly listening to people around you can go a long way towards erasing any preconceptions you may have about a variety of topics. I am an Aquarius, who likes golfing and fishing, and I have a four year old son who likes cartoons almost as much as I do. Please indulge me as I try to offer a little insight on some of the topics facing many small businesses today. I look forward to reading your opinions on my opinions. Cheers!
